Oh, sure. Pull up not pull down. My fault.

Thank you, all the best for the upcoming new year ;)

I have another question actually:

Do you (or anyone else) know whether the /WP and /HOLD-Pins of certain SPI flash ICs are required to be connected to the ESP8266 in "Dual SPI"-Mode?

If so, then there is no real gain in GPIO count (/WP and /HOLD are used as Data2 and Data3 lines in Quad-SPI mode). At the time of my original post I haven't thought about it but as I was reading through SPI flash datasheets I noticed that they have these /WP and /HOLD pins.

I don't know if the ESP8266 makes use of them or if they just can be left not connected.

Anyways, happy new year to everybody :)
